Debunkers are Delusional

I've been observing debunkers on these NGs for at least two years now.
They've always raised my curiosity, especially the more empty-headed variety
who don't even make an attempt at doing less than name calling, throwing
insults or making inappropriate responses to out-of-context, or snipped
posts to make some questionable point.

Summed up, debunkers are delusional.

Most of them display characteristics of abused children. Abused
children, once adults simply cannot stand being ignored. They will go to any
length to get attention. No amount of verbal abuse will stop them, no sane
or sensible argument, or even pleading will stop them, nothing can stop them
from striking out, once they see you as reasonable bate, not even violence,
the least of all violence, if you could exact it upon them. They derive
great satisfaction in what they do. It's a need.

The delusional aspect of debunkers is that they don't realize just how
confusing most of us find them. They sincerely think they are fucking others
over, or fucking up one's day, or winning somehow in a war of words---a war
that is one-sided---their own. Words are not something they can manage to
compose very well.

They hang out in these NGs like a clique of imbeciles, joining forces,
exchanging congratulations, and bragging about imaginary kills.

Some are more dedicated than others, and go to extremes, especially if
they are denied the idea that the person under attack, really doesn't give a
damn. These types of debunkers are relentless and vigilant, spending much
time in their effort to denigrate or chastise or name call and insult
posters who they hit on as targets. Nothing is beyond contempt in the extent
they are willing to go to hit on a prey. Debunkers have no morals, least of
all a conscience.

They are delusional, also, in that they think others see them as doing
some kind of humane service, or see them as truth mongers, when the forces
behind their acts are anything but truth. But, they sincerely believe they
are doing good. Of course, what they are doing is misplacing their own
personal hate of themselves and using it upon others. Possibly they are
getting even for never having been accepted in a normal society. Or, as
abused children, never found any kind of helpful therapy to get over it.

Debunkers are the bane of NGs. They are delusional and misguided and
obsessed with their need to attack others.

To them, you care if you show no response, and you care if you do. As a
victim of debunkers, it's very important that you care. They need to feel
they are getting to you. They need to feel that they are upsetting you. If
you disagree and say you don't care, or that they're not upsetting you, they
will call you a liar, and work harder at it.

Debunkers are a maniacal mix of misfits with about as much going for
them as a castrated bull.

Even the more intelligent ones, male or female, keep coming back to give
more abuse. They scout what you post, and pounce. They work in packs and
separately. They are having fun.

Unfortunately, even the fun they have is delusional. Eventually, they
become convinced of what becomes a mission, an agenda, to strike and kill
anyone who posts something that is contrary to what they believe, or prefer
to believe, or simply out of because of who said it, not what is said.

They don't understand that the care most of us have, is the disruption
they create in the NGs, not the personal, unwarranted, as well as ludicrous
attacks. I mean you really can't be affronted by morons who make absolutely
no sense in their response to your posts.

You can't be offended when you realize you are dealing with someone
suffering some kind of delusion, of some sort.

Whether debunkers come in the guise of trolls, those who flame, or
skeptics, the type described here is unsuccessful. In fact, if they had any
brains, they'd be embarrassed.

Ever notice how they think they are being funny, but the only people
laughing are other debunkers? Ever notice how they think they've made some
great point or charge of character, and the only ones agreeing are other
debunkers?

Art is right in wishing for better debunkers. But it's not going to
happen. Debunkers are debunkers to be debunkers. They want to destroy any
vestige of reasonable debate. Showing them that you care is best done by
understanding these things about them.

You can't win over them, because they have the delusion that they have
won, even as they fail miserably. You can ignore them, but that's no
guarantee that they will leave you alone, no more than a starving,
carnivorous beast can avoid available flesh when hungry.

They are animals. They have the instinct of animals. And, they have the
delusion of thinking they qualify as humans.

Sure they will try to make me pay for daring to write this post. And, no
matter how I re-act, no matter what I say, or don't say, they will feel
vindicated each and every time they attack in the false belief that I care,
or that you care. They will go to extremes. They can't help it. They need to
do it like a heron addict needs a fix. They are that delusional. Now, if
only they could get my name right!

If you haven't gotten the idea that this world is run by a criminal elite 
lacking the slightest concern for the welfare of mankind, then you haven't been 
paying attention. --Jim Kei
